Ok here's my problem. Using my Reo grand with RM2. .7ohm 28ga kanthall coil. Cotton wick. I can't taste anything anymore. What do I need to try? The juice I'm using is Johnson creek vanda and merango. Mtn oak vapor vanilla dream and blue drop. Sometimes backstage blends metal milk. All in 12mg nic.

Should I try a higher resistance coil or lower? Different mod? I don't know I just miss tasting my juice. I am willing to try whatever it takes.

"Vapor's Tongue" can strike at any time, for no discernible reason, no matter how long you have been vaping. It strikes me occasionally. When it does I vape unflavored for awhile. "Unflavored" actually has a subtle flavor, which I've grown to like, but what helps is since I'm not expecting to taste anything I don't get frustrated. It usually takes a couple of days for my sense of taste to return.

The pics will possibly show if you are setting up correctly ... or not.
Do you have the sub ohms contacts?
Are you getting good vapor?

I think the RM2 can be good from around .4 to .9 ohms, even 1 ohms with fresh batts, but the coil and wick need to be right.

There's a ton of help in the big Micro Coil thread that used to popular here (superXdrifter's - check spelling).

And I know muzic can help too.

I got pretty good flavor out of my RM2 when I was using it.

Here it is. This coil is my latest try at getting flavor. It produces excellent vapor I just can't taste it. 30ga 2 wire twist measures .6 ohm. Cotton wick.

Thanks for the pic Travis. Two things I am noticing right off...

First one in not a big deal, but on future builds you want to wrap your coil in the opposite direction so the lead on right is under the wick and the left is over. This is so the wick on the left side lays more natural to the deck. It also helps so you can lean or tilt the coil just slightly downward towards the feed hole in the ceramic deck.

On to the second, not sure what diameter your coil is, but most use a 1/16" diameter and the coil needs to be closer to the edge of the deck, directly in front of the air hole, and down closer to the ceramic deck.. This is so the air flow comes in and hits the coil and flows, both, under and over the coil. Remember to center it with the air hole. This can be easily checked by taking off the drip tip and looking in the top of the cap and also by shining a light in the cap and looking in the air hole... If that makes sense to you?

The coil overall looks ok, but needs to come out and down a little. The cotton looks ok, but on the right side you don't need that long tail at all and the left side need only go to the edge of the feed hole. On the RM2, when you feed them you can almost completely submerse the coil in liquid as you squonk and that is why you don't need as much wicking... Trial and error are not your enemies here... It will come to you when you make a few adjustments... Hope this helps you.

Looking better though you have the coil leaning to the wrong side. You want it to lean downward towards the feed hole. Make sure your wick doesn't actually block the feed hole though. It looks like the left side of the coil could move a little closer to the edge also. You want it right at the edge without touching when you put the cap on. Cotton looks to be better in this coil. The smallest size mandrel in the Wire Gizmo I believe is .055 diameter and the 2nd smallest is 1/16"...

Have you been over to the REO forum and checked out any actual threads on the RM2? Come on over and check it out. There are alot of posts regarding the same problems you have encountered...
